This is the age of paper, and an exhi-
bition of paper objects and manufactures
would fittingly commemorate the BIZ
centenary Of the first paper mill in this
country next year, to be held at Phila-
delphia, the birthplace of the trade.
Paper is the receptacle and dissemination
of science, the products of art and litera-
ture, the great means of keeping indus
tries and commerce thriving. 1t barrels
flour, wraps III goods, enters into
articles of personal wear and household
use, and when we die sometimes forms
our collins. 1t rolls beneath our railway
cars and forms our buggy tops. We eat
off il, drink from it, wear it on our
heads, necks, bosoms and feet, carry it i
our pockets in lieu of handkerchiefs, and
tile our houses, line our carpets with it,
pack up our goods in paper boxes and
divert our leisure moments with paper
cards. We make 500, 900 tons yearly,
import largely, and yet, like Oliver
Twist, ask for more. Rags, wood pulp,
straw, old rope, the bark of the cotton
plant, and sven the membranes in the in
terror of silkworm cocoons, yield it,

The Oldest bank note i'll existence is

attic museum at st, Petersburg. Its date
corresponds to 1891 b. {. 1t was issued
by the Chinese government, AZ early
as 2Gg1 b. {. SO called bank notes were
current in China under the name of fly
ing money This note bears the name
of the Imperial bank, date and number
of issue. and the signature of Il manda-
rim. and contains even a list of the pun
ishmruts to be inflicted for forgery Of
notes. This relic of 5000 wears ago was
probably written by hand, us the earliest

There is at present in the Hospital of
the Charity "A young non-commissioned
officer, as he would be called in England,
who is undergoing treatment as u victim
to opium smoking. The soldier, who is a
man of education, has given n remarkable
account of his experiences as an opium
smoker. He says that while in Tonkin,
or Cochin China, one of the French gen
erals caused IN order to be issued against
the use of the drug, and this very prohibit
ton was the means of making several
men try opium smoking through curiosity.
The non-commissioned officer went with
some comrades to the smoking saloon of a
village. There a woman came to him and
filed a long pipe with a small ball of what
appeared to be a thick brown syrup, made
as consistent as wax This the soldier
was pressed to take, and, placing its bowl
over Il lamp which was alight, he inhaled
what seemed to be the fumes of sugar and
burned apples.
He was at first rendered i'll, but after a
second pipe WAS plunged into the e~cstatic
dreams described by De Quincy, Baude-
laire and NJ. Paul Bonnetain. He seemed
TO float in a bath of lukewarm milk, and
memories that had long lain buried passed
clearly through his imagination. He
recollected forgotten melodies, snatches Of
songs and extracts from ~favorfte authors;
but when he awoke from the reverie he
was persplring with pain and fear. After
this he kept up the habit for six months,
smoking thirty grammes of opium on the
day of his departure for France. The
man at present looks rather hvid, and his
general appearance is that of n person who
had been pnralyzed. 1t is expected, how
ever, that he will be brought round by the
treatment of the hospital physicians

WHEN suNs1Rokg is IMMINENT.
And what Do When 1t occurs-Its
symptoms and Treatment.

And Wlint Do When It occurs-Its
and Treatment.
When, during the heated term, one
who has been exposed to the suns heated
rays begins to suffer from headache, gid
diness, nausea and disturbance of sight,
accompanied with sudden and great
prostration of the physical forces, sum
stroke is probably imminent.
If such a one will take time by the
foreIock and Immediately retire &c a cool
place, making use of some simple restora-
tives, such as aromatic ammonia, ETC.,
he may be spared further trouble; but if
he persists with his business he will
doubtless soon become very i'll, which i'll
ness usually takes the form of heat ex-
haustion, neat apoplexy or genuine sum
stroke, the thermic fever of some writers.
Those who are exhausted by the heat
have "a cool, moist skin, a rapid, weak
pulse and respiration movement M the
pupil is dilated. In fact these symptoms
are these of collapse. These patients will

which may be fastened by the use of a
tonic and restorative treatment.
Those who safer from heat apoplexy
frequently become unconscious at the
outset. The heart and breathing appa-
paratuS Is not disturbed ana
the pupil may be normal, but the I'M
consciousness deepens and the case runs
on to a fatal termination. An artery has
been broken in the brain and the poured
out blood pressing on the nerve centers
brings about the fatal event. A treat
ment calculated to draw the blood from
the brain to the extremities-hot foot
baths, bleeding, ETC., promises to be the
most useful in such cases.
The thermic fever patient is uncon-
scious and Convuised and his body tenn
perature may be 10S or 10 degs. Fahren-
heit-that IS, 10 dogs. above normal.
The skin of this patient feels as though
it would burn your hand when laid
thereon. In this case the thorough and
prompt application of cold is needed.
Ice to the head and cold water to the body
generally will be in order. Medical Gd-
vice shosld be promptly had in either OF
the two cases last referred to. Com
plete recovery from sunstroke is rare,
the brain being permanently crippled in
many cases. Residence in a cold eli
mate affords some hope for such patients.

Manners may be either a revealer or a
c~oncealer of the true mental or moral
condition of a man. When adopted as a
veil to hide what is there, however in
genious the a%rtitice, the beauty and grace
of truly fine manners annot be reached.
There will always be an indescribable
something to dim their luster and cast
suspicion on their verify. The bland
courtesy which covers up dislike or in
difference cannot command absolute
trust; the gracious condescension which
is often adopted to hide a mild contempt
generally betrays it in the end. The
finest are those which express,
frankly and unc~onsciously, the actual
presence of fine qualities, in their most
delicate shades. All mere limitations Of
them, where they do not exist; all artif-
cial airs and graces for the sake of APP
pearances are mere mannerisms, which
soon become transparent and disclose
what they are intended to hide.-Phila-

ADAMS ON THE INVESTIGATION.

Charles Francis Adams being inter
viewed in Chicago regarding the result OF
the investigation of Union Pacific affairs
said:
we gave them every opportunity to
get all they wanted, and they made a
most thorough investigation. | can't see
that there was any need of it. | haven
heard of their unearthing anything which
required explanation.
DO you mean Mr.. Huntington's kind
of explanation. Mr.. Adams2' asked the
interviewer.
mo, but as for that, although l don't
know anything about the Central Pacific.
it costs money to defend a road against
an attack Of congress just as much as 1t
does to defend it in court. There are
legitimate costs and expenses in both
cases. | am sure that since 1885, the
date when my acquaintance with Union
Pacific officers began, the company has
b~eenmanaged honestly and fairly"
DO you mean to present any new plans
before the next congress for the payment
of the Union Pacifc's debt to the govern
ment?'s
That will depend on what the i%nvesti-
eating committee does. The debt does
not fall due for ten years, and we are now
meeting every obligation. We ask only
that the government will treat with us on
a business basis, not on a political one.
If the government would deal with us as
with other creditors, or as creditors gen
orally treat their debtors, we would be sat
isfed as things are. The first mortgage
bondholders hold a claim for $50, 600, 900
against the road as does the government,
but they do not think it necessary to
worry us continually. They simply say,
IF you don't pay that debt when it is due
ten years hence, we shall take the prop
erty.' Why should the government take
any different course?'

The suggestion of Capt. Bartlett, chief
of the United States photographic Office,
that an international convention be
called for the purpose of assigning differ
ent portions of the ocean to each mari
time nation. will probably be favorably
considered by congress. 1t is believed
that this would prevent casualties at sea
by ships running into floating derelicts.
Capt. Bartlett says in his report: Each
nation would patrol its own portion of
the ocean for the purpose of towing in or
destroying all obstacles, Frequent re.
ports are received of ships running into
these derelicts. and the number lost from
this cafIse may be considerable. If ship
masters felt that every attempt was being
made hy civilized governments to clear
the ocean of these dangers, their ankle
ties. which are sufficiently great from
purely natural causes, would be mate
rally relieved. Boston Budget.
